  My blog – http://dmsvideoblog.wordpress.com

  I just added a “Category” search function on my blog. Now I have a problem. I have a post under “Recent Posts” named Video Clips Page 2. Under “Categories” I also have a category named Video Clips Page 2. In reality they are both links to the same posting. If you click the link under “Recent Posts” everything is fine. If you click the link under “Categories” the posting looks different. It turns into some type of Archive mode. It has an option “Read Full Post.” If you click “Read Full Post” you can see the post as it’s seen under the “Recent Posts” link. Why is this happening and is there anything I can do to make both links function the same way? I don’t want it to go into Archive mode where you have to click on “Read Full Post.” Thanks.

  Many themes use excerpts or simply list the titles of the posts when you are in category, tag, or archive view. This is theme dependent and was decided by the theme author when they designed the theme.

  I was hoping not to hear that but I thought it might be a possibility. Thanks for the reply.

  You’re welcome. You can always look for other themes under design > themes that do not do this. There are some that don’t although I’m not sure which ones.
